Take a journey through cable knitting and meet your new favorite sweater!
We'll be knitting Hana by Junko Okamoto as we take a deep dive into cables and modular design. Learn how to read cable charts, work these lovely textural stitches both with and without a cable needle, pick up stitches neatly along edges, stitch perfect seams, and even a little optional embroidery!
